I have already filed issue 148605 - "Unmatched area is hard to read" to the editor. Could be fixed by not marking the unmatched tag at all so the user would distinguish the un-matched tag byt non-presence of the yellow background. I am not sure if this is doable though. I still think the proposed lighter color would be better. Another option proposed by pjiricka would be to red-highlight just the openening and closing symbol, not including the tag name. main issue is 148605 NetBeans.org Migration: changing resolution from LATER to WONTFIX |
1. Create a HTML file 2. Type the following inside the body tag: <table> => the tag will be colored as red, which is disturbing and makes the code hard to read. The red color is used as an indication that the tag is unmatched, but at the same time, an exclamation mark is displayed in the gutter and the tag has a wavy underline, which is a sufficient warning that something is wrong. Red color of the tag feels excessive.
